County level statistics

Figure 1 shows two versions of the combined cycling route network (the quietest and the fastest) under the baseline scenario. The quietest combined cycling route network is shown by default. The fastest combined cycling route network is visible by clicking on one of the layers on the layers button under the zoom settings on the top left of the map. Another useful layer hidden shows the location and size (number of students) of the schools. To get the full scale map click here.

For more detailed definition of the scenarios and the cycling route network types (‘quietest’, ‘balanced’ and ‘fastest’, defined by CycleStreets), see the FAQ.

Table 1 presents two indicators on the level of cycle friendliness of the distance cycled by network type under the baseline scenario: (1) % of distance cycled on not hostile segments and (2) % of distance cycled on cycle friendly segments.

Figure 2 is an interactive graph that shows the number of cycling trips per day by route distance and scenario in Limerick. The lines on this graph have been smoothed to see what the trends look like.
